Name and Location
Bloomberg remote net metering project, New York, US.

Client
Bloomberg.

Project Description
The project entails the construction of 2.9 MW solar power plant to power Bloomberg’s Rockland County, New York-based data centre.

The solar plant is expected to generate enough clean energy and reliable electricity each year to offset more than 5% of the data centre’s electricity use.

The project is also expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 11 600 t, equivalent to taking more than 6 800 cars off the road or powering more than 4 400 homes for one year.

Value
Not stated.

Duration
Construction of the solar plant is on schedule for completion in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Latest Developments
SunEdison has signed a power purchase agreement with Bloomberg to power the company’s Rockland County data centre.

SunEdison will supply solar power to Bloomberg through a statewide programme of remote net metering, which enables customers to enjoy the savings and environmental benefits of solar without having to install a system on site, as the system is built in the region where the customers are.

Clean renewable energy is delivered over existing power lines.

Key Contracts and Suppliers
SunEdison (solar plant).

On Budget and on Time?
Not stated.
